I have tried a million ways but none were successful. I have an LG Optimus L7 that is super slow and I want to make it faster by rooting it. I am running Android 4.1.2, my Kernel-version is 3.4.0, my Build-number is JZO54K and my Softwareversion is P70020d-EUR-XX.
Thanks in advance.
Try Framaroot app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
After installing it, just choose Gandalf and it will inform you of the results. I rooted this way my v20c 4.1.2 JB.
Thanks, do you also know how I can overclock my phone so it will run much faster?

if you are on a custom rom, i think it has a OC kernel
Sorry for sounding possibly retarded, but I really have no clue what a custom ROM is and what an OC Kernel is, can you maybe explain me how I install all of this stuff?
i can better give you an example of custom rom, CM - cyanogenmod
you know we don`t have android 4.2.2 or 4.3 but we have roms, made by developers , as CM, which is based on Android version 4.2.2 or 4.3
Is like you are using JB 4.2.2, but a better one, with no useless apps on it
OC - overclock , you know, you have , on l7, a kernel with 1000 MHz, you can overclock it to 1300, if i am not wrong, but, this can in time to make demage to your cpu if you are using it very much
First of all, thanks for the clear explanation. Secondly, if I install a custom ROM, will I still be able to download stuff using the Play Store? Like WhatsApp and Snapchat? And how do I install a custom ROM?

use HD when you are on CWM
In the video you said I need to have two things, one of them is a rooted phone and the other one was something about a recovery. Can you explain what I need to do with the recovery?

i said about CWM
install ROM Manager apk
and from there, install CWM, you can after reboot in CWM too
I think I did something wrong. I installed the ROM Manager and also installed Clockwork Recovery Mod, and when I rebooted my phone into recovery so I could install CM10 using my external SD Card I only got white lines. I removed my battery and restarted my phone and I had to configure every thing again as if it was going through a factory reset.

try this
maybe you need to unlock the bootlaoder too
This time I think it worked but when it went into that mode it said "Secure Boot Error" "Cause Verification Why".
Any idea how to fix this?

yes, look on that i gave to you, you have there how to unlock the bootloader
this is the problem, the bootlaoder needs to unlocked
The link to the CWM package is a 404 page, where can I find a different download link?
you said you installed cwm, just unlock the bootloader now
Right now it's installing the cm10 package with ROM Manager, but what do I have to do with that 'gapps' file? How do I install it and what is it?
I've rooted and installed CWM 6.0.2.8 on my LG E612(V20e) using V20d+root+CWM on KDZ updater...
I've tried installing CM 10, 10.1, 10.2 and 11, Vanir, AOSP mod+Clean and Slimbean ROMs. All seem to be installed properly but once the phone is booted the touchscreen doesn't work? The only L5 Custom ROM wherein the touchscreen worked was KOLROM.
What seems to be the problem? Please help.. Thanks..

Is your bootloader unlocked ? maybe you need to update your kernel, download and install this

My LG L5 E612 is V20E by default.. I am afraid to unlock the bootloader and install CWM manually because I once experienced random reboots after doing that previosuly.. So to get CWM recovery I just flashed a V20d+root+CWM through KDZ Updater. I just noticed though that if I flash another version of KDZ (ex. V20A or V20D) that is different from my V20E default, I noticed that the backlight of the phone is dimmer? I mean on these different KDZ versions 75% brightness was just like the 25% on my stock rom V20E. Has anyone else noticed this too?
Hi
I have this screen on a LG Optimus L3 (E405), after the LG logo.
I try to flash it, th phone go on android the first time and work correctly
but if i reboot it return on this screen
please what is this? and how can i fix it?
Try to install clockworkmod recovery before flashing a Custom ROM. I suggest you to do a backup of your stock recovery before installing a new one. You may want everything to be stock. I forgot to do this. So I hope you won't make this mistake
Sent from my LG-E400 using xda app-developers app
use KDZ to flash to stock ROM or check this GUIDE
hope it will help you a lot

So I've obviously made a mistake and done some damage to my phone (why else would I need the stock kernel right?)
I stupidly used AutoRec on my rooted LG G2 running 4.2.2.... needless to say I can get into recovery now just fine, but the filesystem doesn't load because AutoRec patches the kernel for you.
If someone could upload that I would greatly appreciate it.
